Takemichi Hanagaki used to be your average middle-schooler... Well, that was until he was bitten by a radioactive spider which gave him the ability to do almost anything a spider could! Watch as our hero tries to balance living a double life as a re...
Those were all words that could be used to describe the streets of Shibuya this fine afternoon...
The sun shone as cars drove along the roads, and civilians could be seen walking amongst themselves, whether they had somewhere to be, or they just wanted to stroll.
Overall, it was a quiet afternoon, with nothing in sight that could disturb this peaceful atmosphere....
. . . .
*SIREN NOISES* . . .
Well... apart from the sound of sirens blaring.
"C'mon, let's go!" An unidentified individual in a ski-mask called out as he ran out of a bank, a large sack of money in hand, along with a pistol.
No sooner had he shouted than three other similarly-dressed individuals holding sacks of their own also dashed out hurriedly.
The first individual quickly entered the driver's seat of their getaway car, waiting for his colleagues to enter as well before speeding off from the scene.
These four individuals were all actually good-for-nothing burglars, and had just finished robbing a certain bank in the area.
They had held everyone in the vicinity at gunpoint, and once they had taken as much they could get, they decided to jet.
Cutting back to the crew, the four men were laughing loudly and celebrating their so-called success as they drove away.
"See boys? I told ya this was a good idea!" The driver boasted to his comrades.
"You were right about that, man! We had those little shits scared for their lives!" One of the burglars in the back laughed, "It was almost like taking candy from a baby!"
The crook in the passenger's seat decided to also add his two cents, "And ya wanna know the best part? Not only were we able to run off with all this moolah, but we also didn't run into no police or nuthin. Nobody can stop us!" He boasted loudly.
However, before the crew could agree to that statement, they were cut off when they felt a heavy force land on top of their car.
"Then I suppose you don't mind if I test out that theory?" A voice spoke out before a certain individual in red and blue spandex came into their view in the windshield.
"Ah crap! It's Spider-Man!" One of crooks called out.
"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to ask you boys to pull over, cuz MAN are you goin' way over the speed limit!" The costumed-individual, now identified as Spider-Man, quipped.
"LET'S WASTE HIM, BOYS!" The driver shouted before he and his colleagues brandished their guns and shot at the windshield without hesitation.
Normally this would spell out death for anyone, however, the being known as Spider-Man was somehow able to jump up in time to dodge the bullets.
He landed behind the car and shot two web-like strings out of his wrists. Once they stuck to the back of the car, he held on to them and let out a grunt as he pulled in order to stop the car from moving.
The car eventually stopped dragging him along and skidded to a halt into the middle of the road, allowing him to leave the ropes.
"Whew, I almost thought it would never slow down." He commented, wiping the non-existent sweat off his mask.
However, there was no time to rest as the burglars eventually exited their vehicle.
"Time to die, Spider-Freak!" One of the thugs threatened before aiming his gun at him.
However, the Spider wasn't worried, and simply shot a web at the crook's face, blinding him.
Then, in the blink of an eye, he shot two more webs at him and yanked his face into the ground, knocking him out.
"GET HIM!" One of the three thugs left shouted as they blasted away at the vigilante.
With skills like that of an acrobat, the costumed-hero dodged the bullets with various flips and spins before zipping towards the crooks with a web and taking one out with a clean knee to the jaw.
Suddenly, as if he had a sixth sense, he bent backwards with incredible flexibility to dodge an incoming bullet from a thug and webbed said thug's gun away from him before taking him down with a spinning back kick.
Realizing that there was one only one crook left, he turned to the remaining member.
"You ain't takin' me in Webslinger!" The thug said, setting his gun ablaze.
"You're right!" The so-called webslinger replied as he dashed towards his opponent.
Seeing him rush up so quickly, the remaining thug panicked and tried to hit the vigilante with his pistol.
However, Spider-Man easily dodged the sloppy swing and gave the thug a swift uppercut, sending them into the air before using his webs to spin them around and send them crashing into the side of the getaway car with a loud thud, effectively rendering them unconscious.
He walked over to the slumped figure of the final thug and knelt in front of them.
"I may not have taken you in, but I did just take you out." He quipped, patting the thug on the head as if he were talking to a child.
Now that all the thugs had been defeated, the hero brought of all them together and webbed them up into a ball, hanging them over a pole.
"*Mwah* Perfection!" He commented on his work with a chef's kiss before he heard the sound of police sirens.
"Aaand it looks like that's my cue to leave." He noted, "Not before I leave a little message though..."
...
A police vehicle of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department pulled up to the scene, and out came two police officers, one male and one female.
"Well whaddya know?" The female officer said once they encountered the scene, "It looks like a certain somebody already beat us to the punch."
"You got that right." The male cop agreed before they walked up to examine the state of the webbed criminals.
However, after they reached the scene, the male officer's eyebrows rose once his eyes landed on a small note which was attached to the large web.
"Huh...." He hummed as he removed the note from the web containing the four crooks in order to read it's contents.
Once he brought it to eye level, he saw that the note had a tiny red spider logo on it, and flipped it only to see the words:
"Courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man"
